Allison and Ben had a classic plum wedding ceremony and reception at The Bell Tower full of all things fun!
This pair met in 2018 while Allison worked at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital in Nashville and Ben was in Huntsville, Ala. Allison wasn't too interested in trying a long-distance relationship, however, they decided to give it a shot. And thank goodness they did!
Their first date was supposed to be at Arrington Vineyards, but due to weather conditions, they settled on something different. Since this location was on their "bucket list," Ben thought it would be just the place for a sweet proposal. With a big surprise in store, Ben made sure to have a photographer ready to capture the moment. The couple enjoyed a wine tasting, a simple picnic, and then one life-changing question.
When Allison and Ben began looking for venues, they decided on the classic look of The Bell Tower. They also told us that they were "excited to be able to have the ceremony and reception all in one place." A bonus for sure!
While the Infinity team set up the main space with help from our friendors, Allison shared a first look with not only her now hubby, but with her dad and brother as well. Nothing gets you ready for the day like pure reactions from loved ones, especially if you're in your mom's wedding dress! Which Allison had redesigned by Karen Hendrix Couture.
Later during the ceremony, Allison and Ben shared unity sand pouring to symbolize everything that they have and will become in the future together. Afterward, the ceremony was transformed into a classic reception of ivory linens and plum florals while guests snacked on hors d'oeuvres on the patio. All of which included fried mac n' cheese, coconut crusted shrimp, candied bacon, pepper jelly pimento cheese bruschetta, tomato bisque with mini grilled cheeses, and lastly, candied bacon deviled eggs.
Allison and Ben had a fun choreographed first dance by Nashville Wedding Dance to "Shut up and Dance" by Anchor and Bell. But, the dancing didn't stop there.
Once the DJ encouraged guests to get ready for the sparkler send-off, this fun-loving couple thoroughly enjoyed a secret last dance to Tina Turner's "The Best."
